This Bill has us wondering, how about you?   BoatUS and our friends at the Recreational Boaters of California have been monitoring California Senate Bill 1066, which would create an “Extended Producer Responsibility” (EPR) requirement for marine flares in the state. To put it simply, this proposed EPR would make marine flare manufacturers responsible for the entire lifecycle of a product, including take-back, recycling, and final disposal.   Boater safety is the top priority for BoatUS and our non-profit BoatUS Foundation, and we recognize the critical role of visual distress signals. We also recognize that the US Coast Guard requires USCG-approved visual distress signals onboard vessels. While boaters have several options to meet this requirement, many opt for pyrotechnic flares that produce a bright light or plume of colorful smoke. These flares have a limited lifecycle and are required by the USCG to be replaced every 42 months.   California Senate Bill 1066 comes in response to the issue with flare disposal – there are virtually no methods currently in place for the safe disposal of pyrotechnic flares. This creates a burden for both the environment and boaters alike.   BoatUS supports the general nature of this legislation, but as an organization dedicated to the interests of recreational boaters, we must take into consideration the potential outcomes of California Senate Bill 1066 that could result in manufacturers increasing the costs of flares for consumers as they pass along the costs associated with the EPR. Would the increase in marine flare costs discourage boaters from purchasing essential safety equipment, and/or would it continue to drive innovation in signaling devices, or lead boaters to adopt other USCG-approved options, such as flags and electronic distress signals?   What do you think? #BoatUSonWatch

I wish to share a thought on saving our environment, looking at increasing temperature and ecological imbalance, I would like to advise few things mentioned below: * Every newly wed couple would only get marriage certificate only when they can prove they have planted atleast 50 - 100 plants in last 1 year. * All the new driving licences should be allotted to only those people who can prove they have planted atleats 50-100 plants in last 1 year. * People going for foreign trips with family or Solo shall be allotted visa only after validating if that person or his family has planted 100 trees in last 1 year. * Those who are going to buy a new car should be given the car's legal docs only at one condition, if they have planted atleast 100 plants in last 1 year . Had I have the authority to do so, I would have done that, its just appeal to higher and right officials to look into this suggestion. #saveearth #saveenvironment #savelife #savewater please forward this if you find this relevant and helpful for our mother earth.

Most people who do not own boats are unaware that highly toxic marine flares must be on all ships and expire every three years. Flares burn at extremely high temperatures and can set boats on fire if dropped. Reusable electronic signals are the safer, more economical, and less toxic alternative. My team and I have been working to bring awareness to this issue for many years because of our concern that there was no way for boaters to easily, safely, or affordably dispose of these flares every three years, so many threw them in the ocean or lake the boat is in. Flares often contain perchlorate, a toxic chemical that pollutes water. If we sell products to the public, they must have a proper end-of-life plan, and we will soon address this in California. Stay tuned! #circulareconomy #EPR #reuse #recycle #boatinglife #protectourplanet Sirius Signal
